Weekly Meal Plan 8.5.18

A new semester is approaching, and it's time to get serious about meal planning again! I'm going to try to start prepping some freezer crock-pot meals at the beginning of the month, so that dinner on long work days is easier. I'm hoping this will help me plan ahead more so that we don't end up grabbing dinner out when we both get home after 6pm. I don't have any scheduled for this week, but expect to see them in coming weeks!

Here's what we're eating for dinner this week:

Sunday: leftovers/dinner after strike

Monday: spaghetti squash parmesan

Tuesday: shakshuka with African lamb from our co-op

Wednesday: Italian sausage rigatoni with spicy cream sauce

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: steak fajitas with sweet potato & poblano

Saturday: date night and dinner out

Thursday: leftovers

Weekly Meal Plan 4.15.18

It's been a while since I've done a meal plan post (ok, any post really!) but since I'm working on cleaning up my diet more the detailed planning began again in earnest. And what better place to try to hold myself accountable to a plan than here on the internet, right?

So, here's what we're eating this week:

Sunday: dinner at ModMarket after a day of yardwork

Monday: steak with root vegetable succotash*

Tuesday: sole with chickpeas, squash and pesto*

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: panang curry with peppers and rice*

Friday: leftovers

Saturday: dinner at an event

All of the meals with asterisks are from Sun Basket. I've written about Green Chef before, and the two companies are similar. I still get Green Chef sometimes, but since discovering my intolerance to brassica vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, etc) I've found that it's easier to find options I don't have to alter with Sun Basket. Because, especially during tech week, where is the convenience if I have to alter the recipe?

This year my show schedule has worked out better for the holiday than last year, so I won't be in tech rehearsals while keeping kosher for Pesach. I also will have a bit more time at home to do all the cooking and baking prep, which I'm happy about.

Tuesday: roasted leg of lamb, charoses, another vegetable

Wednesday: salmon and spinach cheese balls

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: Passover potato quiche and salad

Saturday: Passover cheese blintzes (from the New York Times Jewish Cookbook)

Here's what we'll be eating this week:

Sunday: leftovers

Monday: Thai Veggie Pitas (Green Chef)

Happy Memorial Day!

This is a big yard-work weekend for Sean and me, so we're keeping the dinners simple Sunday and Monday.

So some easy slow-cooker meals are a must!

Sunday: Slow Cooker Curry (linked recipe calls for goat, but I have beef so that's what we'll use) & roasted butternut squash

Monday: Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches & raw vegetables

Tuesday: leftovers

Friday: Lamb & Swiss Chard Stew

Saturday: leftovers

Wow, what a crazy end to April! Between two plays, and Denver deciding that it was still winter, I am ready to have some time to relax and get outside again!

It's a welcome change!
